Ticketmaster warns customers to take action after hack


Ticketmaster customers have been advised to sign up to a cyber security service after a hack in May.

The personal details of 560 million Ticketmaster customers worldwide were stolen in the hack - with cyber criminals then attempting to sell that information online. When a data breach happens it can sometimes lead to secondary hacking or fraud attempts by other criminals who use your details to trick you into sending them money or downloading malicious software. After days of investigation, it was revealed that the hackers had taken data from Ticketmaster by stealing login details from Snowflake, the company it uses for its cloud storage account.
